Slow EPG Sped Up - For a Short While

[Last.To.Know]

I did a channel scan which, of course, wiped out my Favourites and my Scheduled Events.

Before I restored them from backup, I used the EPG which was without delay.

Then, I restored my Favourites and my Scheduled Events and the delay manifested itself again, although I thought it not as long a delay as before.

Posted in case it may be of interest.

If you had some series timers where the series had ended that could account of the difference as the more series timers you have the slower it gets. Try putting 50 series timers on and the slow down gets even more noticeable!

What are series timers?

 

[Black Hole]

I think he means series recording schedule entries.

 

[Last.To.Know]

Oh, right.

Has it been established they are a factor in slowing down the EPG?

I might delete some of the expired ones if it would help.

 

[Luke]

Yes.

Why wouldn't you do that as a matter of course anyway?

I don't bother - they evaporate of their own accord after three months (but I don't use 1.03 firmware on my regular-use HDRs).

The WebIF provides a one-click declutter operation if you do want to (or at least I thought it did - where's it gone?).

"Select Finished" followed by "Delete Selected"

Correction: three clicks - thanks.

For further info on the slow EPG, I managed to get Humax to tell me the following last year:

Dear Chris,

If the guide on your machine has became slightly slower on your machine after upgrading to 1.03.12 this is a compromise to fix other issues with the previous software version. Unfortunately there will not be a release to alter this.
